Grab a tray and start down the line. Smokey's lays an entire spread of good barbecue before you, ready to select. And that's the hard part. There are plenty of meats: brisket, pork loin, ham, sausage, chicken, fajita meat, turkey, beef and pork ribs, and even baby backs.

We didn't have the chance to try all of Smokey's smoke-filled offerings, but what we did try was very good. Don't overlook the burrito plates -- tortillas the size of Frisbees packed with chopped beef and sauce, and served with a choice of potato salad, coleslaw, chili beans, chips, red beans and rice, or corn on the cob.

The potato salad and coleslaw are excellent, but don't miss the chili beans. These are some of our favorites, zesty beans mixed with shredded meat and peppers that are good enough to make a meal in themselves.
